In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 93 Oboi’s anger

In the valley, the fierce offensive and defensive battle has lasted for nearly half a month.

Even if the four red-coated cannons arrived later, they still failed to break through the mountain stronghold. The cumulative casualties were as high as [-], and morale fell to the bottom.

This made Obai, who had promised Hauge that he could conquer the village in just seven days, now only full of irritability and hostility.

As the attacking traitor soldiers retreated from the hillside again, Obai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He rushed forward with a knife and slashed at the defeated soldiers.

He killed more than ten people in one breath before his anger subsided.

"If you dare to retreat without permission, these people will suffer the consequences!"

On the contrary, bursts of cheers erupted from the wall of the mountain village.

After a while, the rumbling sound of cannons sounded again, but the Lin family troops, who had long been accustomed to it, were not as frightened and panicked as they were at the beginning.

After these days of fighting, almost everyone has noticed that the movement of the cannon sounds scary, but its accuracy is surprisingly poor, and not one of the ten cannons may be able to hit the stronghold.

Even if the projectile comes in, as long as you hide behind the wall and behind the house, you don't want to hit anyone. At most, it will break a big hole in the house.

So everyone just hid behind the wall. Many people didn't even bother to go down the wall, and squatted directly under the wall stacks, betting that the opponent's cannon could not hit them.

"Third Madam, this Jurchen dog is really persistent. After fighting for so many days, it still refuses to give up."

Wang Gouwa looked at the projectiles that occasionally hit the village, and couldn't help but complain to Mrs. Niu on the side.

After several lessons from Sister Niu, she finally changed her name and no longer called her Sister Niu, but honestly called her Third Madam.

"What are you afraid of? If they want to fight, let them do it. Anyway, we have plenty of arrows, and the casualties among our brothers and sisters are not big. We can survive another month or two of fighting!"

Sister-in-law Niu waved her hands and said it didn't matter. There were plenty of trees and rocks in the mountains, and there were more than 1000 captives responsible for felling trees, cutting rocks, and helping with transportation. The rolling logs and thunder stones needed for defense could not be used up at all.

"That's true. It's just that being tortured like this day and night is really annoying and irritating."

Wang Gouwa nodded, and then said angrily.

The people around them also echoed, cursing the Jurchen dogs for not being human beings, and even attacking during the day, even at night, obviously wanted to exhaust them to death.

And these days, although everyone can easily repel the attackers every time, they are also very tired.

Even though Mrs. Niu later divided the people into two teams and took turns defending against the Jurchens' attacks day and night, she still couldn't sleep well, and everyone's eyes were bloodshot.

"Don't worry, these traitors are human beings, not made of iron. We have killed and wounded at least four to five thousand people in total these days. I'm afraid their morale has hit rock bottom. If we continue to attack for two days at most, they will definitely subside."

Sister Niu waved her hand. The terrain of the village is here. Although Brother Lin took away [-] Han veterans, not counting those prisoners, there are still more than [-] people in the village, and there are as many as one who can fight. Qian San, there have only been more than [-] casualties in recent times, and there are all kinds of weapons and food, so she is confident even if she can defend for three to five months. What she is worried about now is the current situation of Brother Lin and the others.

This time there were no less than [-] traitor soldiers alone, and there would certainly be no shortage of Jurchen dog cavalry.

"Third Madam, the morale of the Jurchen Dogs has dropped to the bottom now. Do you think we can wait for them to calm down and then find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"

A bold Xiaoqi thought for a while and said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Niu slapped her on the back of the head and cursed: "You want to die? Have you forgotten what the young master told you when he left? Dispel this idea as soon as possible, and you, don't think about it all day long, girl." No matter how low the morale of a real person is, there are still only 2 or [-] people. We only have this small number of people, and we are seeking death for those who have some but not enough. Just stay safe and secure. Do you hear me?"

"I heard."

Everyone had to answer in unison. Apparently many people had bad ideas these days, but every time they were sternly rejected by Mrs. Niu and scolded severely.

As the gunfire ended, a thousand traitor soldiers who had been organized launched another attack on the mountain stronghold. "Uncle, our refueling tactics are too much of a loss. If we continue to fight, my soldiers will collapse. It's better to stop tomorrow and rest for a few days!"

A traitorous general finally had the courage to persuade Obai.

"It's uncle, let's have a truce for a few days!"

"Brothers really can't bear it anymore!"

And as he took the lead, other Han generals also started to complain.

Oboi, who was about to get angry and whip with a whip, saw all the Han generals shouting, so he could only temporarily suppress his anger and waved his hand impatiently: "Then rest for two days and attack again in two days!"

After saying that, he immediately got on his horse and headed towards the camp behind with a group of Jurchen cavalry. Obviously, he didn't have much hope for this attack.

When the generals saw that Obai had left, they quickly gave the order to retreat. They were cursing Obai in their hearts for not taking the lives of their men seriously.

Before Obai returned to the camp, the rapid sound of horns was heard outside the valley, and a group of Jurchen cavalry was seen galloping towards the camp in the valley.

The rapid sound of horns caused the whole camp to explode. The Han soldiers who were resting inside rushed out of the tent with their weapons in hand and panicked faces.

"Don't mess around, line up for me!"

"Who dares to run around, I will kill him..."

Oboi rode on his horse, roaring and waving his whip. After working for a while, he finally stopped the rioting Han soldiers.

At this time, the pair of Jurchen cavalry also rushed forward. Obai rushed forward, whipped him fiercely and roared: "What's going on? Why are you blowing the trumpet indiscriminately?"

Oboi couldn't help but be angry. Could this kind of warning signal of an incoming cavalry force of more than [-] people be blown randomly?

"Enemy, enemy attack, large-scale cavalry attack, no less than [-] horses, running quickly towards the valley..."

The Jurchen cavalry ignored Obai's murderous look and gasped anxiously.

He couldn't help but feel anxious. When they found each other, the other party was already less than fifty miles away from the valley. Although they rushed back to report the news as soon as possible, the other party was definitely not much slower than them.

"What? Where did so many cavalry come from? Did you read it wrong? Did Prince Su bring someone back?"

Obai was shocked, stepped forward and grabbed his collar and asked.

The combined total of the Mongolian tribes here probably does not have more than [-] cavalry, so I highly doubt that these guys are dazzled and regard their Eight Banners cavalry as enemies.

"No, the opponents are all Mongolian cavalry, each with at least three horses. They are very fast. They are definitely here to attack."

The leading Jurchen sentry detective quickly explained.

"Damn it, are they the group of horse bandits who went south? Why do they have so many Mongolian cavalry and war horses?"

"Quick! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Seeing what he said, Ao Bai lost his composure and even became a little panicked.

Because Hauge only left him one Niulu Eight Banners warrior, he could not intercept the opponent at all. He could only let these Han soldiers directly resist the impact of the cavalry.
